Ashamed to be British?

[easypeasy]

Am i the only one who is concerned that the three biggest international celebrities in the house are getting the view that the british are a farting uncouth bunch of trogs? oh what wonderful ambassadors for our nation the goodie trio are.......

[Nowhere]

I doubt the celebs see the trio as a representation of ALL british citizens, I know when I meet someone, I don't judge them, and label everyone else (in their race/religion/colour etc) as the same. Every person is an individual,unique. So I'm not too worried,i'm finding them to be entertaining at the moment. :bigsmile:

[Siouxsie]

Good point but it is entertaining lol:thumbs:

Jade, Jackiey and Jack are the American equivallant of trailer trash. That's how Jermaine will see them as anyway.

[Siouxsie]

Thats very true Andy . They probably look like guests from the Jerry Springer show to Jermaine and Dirk.

Lool! That's a great comparison Scoob! :thumbs:

Wonder why we've never thought of that before!?

Although you could say Big Brother is almost becoming the equivalent of a Jerry Springer Show!

Oh yes and Dirk of course.

Thankfully the other Brit celebs are doing ok I think. I was even warming to Donny at the end. His quote about Jade and her family as he jumped over the fence was utterly priceless!

[Emilee]

I'm British lol.
And thats how i see them! :whistle:

[easypeasy]

yes thank god for the other brits in the house, the goodies make me cringe though. you cant take them anywhere.lol

A mental asylum, perhaps!? :hugesmile:

[Siouxsie]

They wouldnt pass the entrance exam to qualify for the asylum :spin2:

[Dan_]

I dont think Jack is that bad to be honest, he does not really have a lot to say and when he does he just seems pretty polite.

[Siouxsie]

Yes i suppose he is very polite so i wonder what the attraction to Jade is then :thumbs:
I just find him a bit boring . Wish he would open his mouth a bit more thats all.

I'm not ashamed to be British, but I do cringe if I think that people like Jade and her mother are considered to be typical of all Brits.

Where? Are we talking about in the house? because there are a couple of other brits who are nothing like the Jade trio, so why would the others percieve the goodies, as typical brits?

[Siouxsie]

good explanation nowhere:flower:

[Chrizzle]

I'm not ashamed to be British, even if the Goody's are in there.
If being British means being entertaining then bring it on!

[Nowhere]

Thanks scooby :bouncy:

[The_Hitman]

Its just the way modern British society is. This country isnt the great country it used to be, morals dont have an awful lot of value these days and everything seems to be about exploiting the media for money like Jade Goody (the 25th most inflilential person in the world.)

Im not worried. I have values, I know other people who have values, Ken Russell has values and people like Shilpa can come on tv and show people some values. Its all well and good ignorant selfish people having their day of glory, but you cant keep good people down, and the good will get back on top in Britain, of that im sure.

[Chilltown]

God I hope the Goody's go home within the next three weeks. :(

Of course they're not. Anyone with a brain can see that Jade and her Chav are not typical

Spend time abroad - I work abroad, and we are coinsidering drunken louts, ignorant thugs looking for a fight and fish n chips.

Unfair - yes, but thats the way we are perceived in the world, and you have to work to prove you are not.

I work abrpad, spend over half the year in Germany and Italy, with a few weeks here and there in France, Spain and Malta

We are considered ignorant thugs around the world - except to Americans, and thats nothing to be proud of.

TV shows perpetuating the image of the thick little englander don't help - as for this being an internal british TV show, checked youtube lately ?

Go to Europe and elsewehere and ask,
its unfair but thats how we are perceived.

[Bells]

I'm sure that people realise there's a variety of people, wherever you go, whichever country. And obviously for shows like BB they’re going to choose entertaining people, different kinds of people, people who aren’t average. That’s a main reason why they have auditions! Surely people should recognise that!

No, not in the house necessarily. Unfortunately, Brits have a bad reputation abroad.

Well that's unfortunate. I'd have hoped people wouldn't tar everyone with the same brush..everybody's unique, I watch Jerry Springer, but at the same time, I don't see everyone in America as backward hillbillies ...

the goodys are really chavy
